cat /etc/gdm3/custom.conf | grep Auto I have this: AutomaticLoginEnable=True AutomaticLogin=leo I think that it's correct, but It don't login into my gnome xorg session ** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547297 Title: No auto login in Ubuntu GNOME Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1547297/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
